Remote Proctoring

WOCNCB® recognizes the need to offer other test taking options, we  now offer live remote proctoring for all of our certification exams.  Live remote proctoring will allow you to take WOCNCB® exams on a desktop or laptop computer in your home or other location while a proctor watches you live online via your computer and records audio and video of the exam session.

To take an exam via live remote proctoring, your computer must meet certain technical requirements including having a webcam and microphone to record the exam session and Internet access. Prior to the start of the exam, the proctor will require candidates to move the webcam or laptop around to show there is no one else in the room and no unauthorized books, papers, or other materials that could compromise the integrity of the exam. Refer to Meazure Learning's live remote proctoring guide for additional details.
